TEMPE, Ariz. - Oct. 14, 2020 - PADT, the Southwest's leading provider of numerical simulation, product development, and 3D printing products and services, today announced 3D printing expert Art Newcomer is relocating from the company's Colorado office to its long-standing New Mexico facility, located in Sandia Science & Technology Park (SS&TP). The move comes on the heels of PADT's expanded capabilities and services in 3D printing and numerical simulation in California and Texas. Combined, these recent moves bolster the company's ability to serve the growing region.

"Art has done a fantastic job supporting our Colorado customers and has been a significant contributor to our growth in the state," said Ward Rand, co-founder and principal, PADT. "As a member of the PADT support team, he will continue to serve Colorado customers. Art's move to New Mexico simply expands his impact on a region that has seen a significant acceleration of 3D printing adoption, making his extensive knowledge and talents a real asset there moving forward."

Newcomer has been serving PADT's 3D printing customers for five years, and has nearly 20 years of experience as a field service engineer across different technologies and sectors. In his role at PADT, he applied his talents to help customers install, maintain, and repair their Stratasys additive manufacturing systems across a wide variety of industries including aerospace, defense, medical, and industrial.

PADT's growing customer base in New Mexico has expanded the application of proven Stratasys 3D printing technologies to include more tooling and end-part production. The National Labs in New Mexico were pioneers in the application of 3D Printing and PADT has been proud to work with them over the years as they increase their efforts and find new applications for the technology.

"I'm looking forward to taking on a new challenge in New Mexico where PADT has served for many years," said Newcomer.
